This energy savings translates into cash savings, plus it reduces your carbon footprint. Your carbon footprint is calculated by dividing the amount of energy used by the number of people in your home.
For instance, a household of two (in California) that spends $200 per month on electricity and $60 a month on gas will have created a household carbon footprint of 0.80 metric tons of CO2 - in just one month! Not to mention a pretty hefty price tag.
With a instant gas water heater, you'll have hot water when you need it, without any thermal heat loss (waste), and at a lower operational cost. Imagine the savings when the general cost of electricity is $0.12 per kilowatt an hour and natural gas at $0.50 per therm.

You enjoy sixty seconds of hot water and suddenly - zap - you're struck with ice cold furry. This water hasn't had a chance to be heated properly, leaving you exposed to microorganisms, deposits, and rust.

In many cases, a instant water heater can be installed just about anywhere in the home. Traditional water heaters must be kept in a specially made closet, but a gas water heater without a tank allows you or an architect to freely design the space.
Many models of the gas water heater - or even better, an electric instant water heater - are compact and easy to install. Some units areas small as 1/3 the size. You will enjoy flexibility not previously had and have no problems hauling away big, bulky tanks.

Less replacements, maintenance, and the hassle of hauling the old one away are favorable qualities in a home necessity.
If you care about the environment, this will also result in less material waste dumped into landfills. Sure, the sheet-metal exterior is recyclable, but the system in which to do it is quite costly and there are few places that do so.
Reducing replacements (a win-win for you and the Earth) is best. Without extended periods of heating water (via a holding tank) the tank-free gas water heater does not suffer from scale build-up; thus, increasing efficiency and elongating life expectancy.
A conventional water heater will typically last for six years up to 12 years tops. And this is considering residential applications only! You can expect considerably less from commercial uses.
By comparison, a instant water heater - both a gas water heater and electric water heater - can last for more than 20 years! A sure investment for you and the value of your home. Accordingly, these units are often accompanied by longer, better warranty coverage.
